📝 Description

Updated the command example for starting the collator to include a placeholder for the "id". This ensures the path is properly created and detected, helping prevent routing and initialisation errors when running the command.

Error if the user doesn't use their "id" in the command:

Test to confirm that the command that starts the collator needs the "id"

Screenshot 2026-05-31 at 22 39 58 You'd see in the screenshot above that, even though the parachain name is Ethereum, the collator still starts since I used the id name in the path. This is because the Polkadot Omni node uses the "id" to create the base path for storing the node key.
